Delhi Hospitals uphold Emergency Preparedness Despite India-Pakistan Ceasefire

New Delhi: Even though India and Pakistan have reached a ceasefire agreement following days of military tensions along the border, the Delhi administration is showing no signs of easing security measures or administrative preparedness in the capital.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that in response to the ongoing military tensions between India and Pakistan, the Delhi government has directed all hospitals in the capital to conduct mock drills and gear up for potential large-scale medical emergencies that may arise from cross-border conflict. Following the government's order, several government and private hospitals are ramping up their preparedness to handle any potential emergency. Many recently carried out large-scale mock drills within their premises to test their response capabilities. These drills focused on providing immediate treatment to patients with critical injuries such as burns, fractures, and other trauma, while also training doctors and medical staff to operate efficiently under high-pressure emergency scenarios.
